ASH Annual Meeting & Exposition: Lymphoma

Michael R. Bishop, MD, discussed how he thinks the results from phase 3 BELINDA study may impact the treatment landscape in B-cell lymphomas moving forward.

Michael R. Bishop, MD, highlighted the population of patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma who were enrolled on the phase 3 BELINDA study and treated with tisagenlecleucel.

Amitkumar Mehta, MD, discusses the role of parsaclisib and how it fits into the treatment landscape of relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma.

Sattva S. Neelapu, MD, spoke about continuing to look at results from the ZUMA-5 trial to determine if axicabtagene ciloleucel can cure patients with relapsed or refractory indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma

Patients with previously untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma experienced promising responses after being treated with tafasitamab-cxix and lenalidomide plus rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristin, and prednisone.

Patients with high-risk large B-cell lymphoma saw durable responses when treated with axicabtagene ciloleucel.

A 27% reduction in the risk of progression or death was noted when polatuzumab vedotin was added on R-CHP vs R-CHOP for patients with intermediate- or high-risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who received treatment in the first line.

A positive overall response rate was achieved when patients with relapsed/refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma were treated with duvelisib plus romidespin.

Patients with large B-cell lymphoma who were previously excluded from investigations experienced increased efficacy with the use of axicabtagene ciloleucel.

Glofitamab monotherapy or in combination with obinutuzumab led to strong response rates for patients with multiple relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma.

Treatment with naratuximab emtansine and rituximab appeared to be well-tolerated with efficacious responses in a population of patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas who were ineligible for stem cell transplant or CAR-T cell therapy.

The ZUMA-7 trial demonstrated an event-free survival improvement in patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma treated with axicabtagene ciloleucel.

Patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma or marginal zone lymphoma had high rates of response and overall survival with axicabtagene ciloleucel at an updated analysis of the ZUMA-5 trial.

Preclinical data show promise for the novel non-covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor pirtobrutinib in mantle cell lymphoma with resistance to both ibrutinib and venetoclax.

A quality-of-life analysis from the phase 3 ZUMA-7 trial of axicabtagene ciloleucel in patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma shows favorability of the CAR T-cell therapy over standard options.

Data presented at 2021 ASH indicate that 2-year progression-free survival rates were improved when ibrutinib was added to rituximab plus mini-CHOP in an elderly cohort of patients with previously untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Sattva S. Neelapu, MD, spoke about the ZUMA-5 trial and the long-term follow-up results seen with axicabtagene ciloleucel in patients with relapsed or refractory indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Patients with autologous stem cell transplant–ineligible relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma appear to benefit from treatment with tafasitamab and lenalidomide.

Anti-tumor activity coupled with a manageable safety profile was noted with the combination of ibrutinib plus loncastuximab tesirine for patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma at an interim analysis of the LOTIS-3 trial presented at 2021 ASH.

Durable clinical responses were demonstrated with the use of parsaclisib in patients with relapsed or refractory marginal zone lymphoma.

Mosunetuzumab given to patients with heavily pretreated patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma demonstrated an effective response.

An expert in the treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma explained some of the exciting advances in treatment and hypothesized what comes next after the 2020 ASH Annual Meeting & Exposition.

Ghobadi detailed the next steps needed to build on the results of a study presented at the 2020 American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting & Exposition.

Ghobadi explained an interesting correlation found in the results of his study presented at the 2020 ASH Annual Meeting & Exposition.

The ongoing GO29365 study of combination regimens containing polatuzumab vedotin (Polivy) for patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma added an additional 106 patients to confirm preliminary findings of safety and efficacy.

A recent study found a difference in preference when it came to the administration of rituximab in patients with blood cancer.

Research from a pilot trial presented at the 2020 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting found above average complete response and disease-free survival rates for patients with DLBCL.

The preliminary findings of the extension arm of the phase 2 GO29365 study confirmed the benefits and tolerability of polatuzumab vedotin (Polivy) plus bendamustine (Bendeka) and rituximab (Rituxan) for patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma.

Research presented at the 2020 ASH Annual Meeting may have found an alternative path forward for patients who do not respond to immunotherapy treatment for large B-cell lymphomas.

A novel ROR1-targeted antibody-drug conjugate, VLS-101, demonstrated encouraging clinical efficacy, consistent pharmacokinetics, and a favorable safety profile in patients with heavily pretreated mantle cell lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
